Ruf went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-3 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old put San Francisco ahead with an RBI single in the third inning, then added insurance with a two-run blast in the fifth. Ruf has hit safely in seven straight games, going 10-for-28 (.357) in that span. He's homered in back-to-back contests, giving him 12 on the year. He's added 29 RBI, 32 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases, although he's not much of a speed threat. Ruf is likely to remain in a near-everyday role at first base until Brandon Belt (knee) can return, which is expected within a week to 10 days.
